One of the best comedies EVER
This present was truly a smorgasboard of talent. They pushed the limits and almost crossed the line with their raunchy,crude humor. That's what made this present so wonderful. They poke fun at EVERYBODY no matter what race. It's nice to see that some minorities can poke fun at their possess stereotypes without getting so sensitive about the issue. Jim Carrey is a GENIUS. His roles as Fire Marshall Bill,Parnell the super nerdy dorky schoolboy , and the female beauty queen were hystical. And you cant neglect Homie Clause and the 2 hoods who plunder things then sell them on their own shopping network. I was unhappy to see this illustrate get discontinued but I still constantly watch the reruns on FX.

Excellent demonstrate , I miss it very much!
In contrast to the previous review, I implore to differ with the comment about Kelly Coffield. In my opinion Kelly Coffield was one of THE most talented actors on the show. I felt she was very passionate and even moving at times. One episode in particular showed off her passion when she played a 1940's or 1950's (I'm really not sure) black & ivory
The Cast Of In Living Color Reunites To Argue Changing TV 25 Years Ago (Video)
Next month marks 25 years since In Living Color wrapped its fifth and final season. The FOX sketch comedy series started by Keenen Ivory Wayans introduced two handfuls of household names. The series, which debuted 29 years ago this month, also broke more boundaries in television than even its most diehard fans may realize.
At the Tribeca Film Festival, some key members of the In Living Color cast reunited to speak the revolutionary program that had millions laughing at their screens on Sunday (and sometimes Thursday) nights. In a conversation, In Living Color‘s founder, Keenen Ivory joined a panel that included David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Kim Wayans, and Shawn Wayans, who debuted on the series as a DJ, before eventually joining the cast. While only David and Tommy remained with the series until its finale, the spirit of this 45-minute conversation captures why In Living Color was a permanent part of 1990s American pop culture.

David Alan Grier: Bringing the Laughs and the Drama
It takes a lot to break through in Hollywood. Talent, strenuous work, and a lot of luck, but to reside booked and engaged for decades is a whole ‘nother level of actor power. One of the people who has it is comedian David Alan Grier. He had his big pause in the 1990s with the iconic sketch comedy exhibit In Living Color. He’s been in films and television ever since. Most recently, he co-starred as a pot-smoking grandpa on Jamie Foxx Netflix comedyDad Stop Embarrassing Me! On Friday’s episode of A Synonyms, I spoke with Grier about his career and how his new display with Jamie Foxx came together. Our conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.
Jason Johnson: You’ve worked with Jamie Foxx and with a lot of majority Dark creators. What’s the difference between that experience and active on projects that are led by white folks?
David Alan Grier: As a Black artist and actor, I can’t tell you how much time is wasted and spent trying to elucidate to white creatives why I can’t do this, why what you’re asking me to utter can’t come out of my mouth, trying to negotiate what would be better, why it’s not working for me, all that stuff.
"InLiving Color " veteran David Alan Grier joined HuffPost Live this week for an exclusive interview.
During the chat, the comedian looked back on "Men On...," in which he and Damon Wayans played two gay cultural critics.
As to how that brand of comedy would fare today, Grier noted, "The politics and the social awareness of today [are] different. It would have to be totally re-thought ... [but] it was in no way ridiculing [the gay community]."
He went on to suggest how the sketch series, which he described as being "of the time," could be adapted for modern audiences: "They would be so straight-looking that no one would know their sexuality."

'In Living Color' Cast: Where Are They Now?
Jan. 5, 2012— -- intro: Just like Mariah Carey in "Precious," Kim Wayans is nearly unrecognizable in current indie darling, "Pariah."
One of the authentic cast members of the hit 1990's sketch comedy TV show "In Living Color," Wayan's career has taken a dramatic turn. In director Dee Rees' "Pariah," which opened in select cities Dec. 28, Wayans plays Audrey, a religious mom at odds with her daughter's sexuality.
The 50-year-old comedic actress had been looking for an opportunity to show her dramatic chops but set up few casting directors willing to accept a chance until "Pariah." Wayans said she got the gig by demonstrating Audrey's vulnerability, not her anger.
"I never felt like she was an wicked person," Wayans told ABCNews.com. "She's really a sad nature who has isolated herself from everybody. I felt so much compassion and empathy for her."
Wayans' performance is earning her accolades. The film, which received a standing ovation at Sundance last year, has picked up awards for Rees and steer actress Adepero Oduye, who play
